I think he's hitting the nail on the head in each case, saying something about the nature of this hobby. It would be fun to discuss some of his points debunked at a reefkeeping get-together.
Agreed, but I think you have to look at the point of view, complexity,personal style and organisms kept and experience of the aquarist...then apply it to you. A great example of this is in part 3,(recent issue http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/eb/index.htm) to do with skimming...(.ie achieve such a perfect organics balance that you can stop skimming)...way braver than me.

For some reason the link to part three does not work for me. :sad: The poster needs to get rid of the extra bracket at the end of the link. :biggrin:

You don't have to be brave, just don't buy a skimmer. (I don't own one). Well just a little one in my nano, but it is shut down. :biggrin:

BTW the link above works now as I edited out the extra bracket. :biggrin:

Everything the author says about patience has been proven in my tank. I fully agree that it takes at least six months before a tank is even semi stable. I have gone through the algae cycles, and everything now thrives. The only algaes I now see are film algae on the glass, and some bubble algae. :biggrin:
